A biased man
comes on and off
talks of mediation
most unfair be the man
says if not you agree
how does it look?
anyhow, he claims to be a mediator
I give him the rank
let him compromise
between heaven and hell
wish that be entrusted to him as well
Housing a play- school next door
very little space on a floor
not much of infrastructure I see
nor any ventilation could there be
the children all put together in little space
cramped and cradled in a place
no area as such to play in the open
the four and a half hour inside the pen
the kids are in a horrible environment
not even a washroom to ease out
well, the parents are equally responsible
have deposited their children in a place implausible
who would come up with an acknowledgement?
the parents or for that the management
in the milieu the little ones lose their health
suffer from bronchitis that deplete the strength
a thought by both sides could eliminate
the burdens the children face to a decimat
e
parents could choose a better school
the management could improve the amenities in all
The flowers white with red stripes light
bloom with fragrance every night
could I say for most in the evening
spread an aroma around almost stunning
the smell enters the nostrils
keeps us in a trance with its fill
the flower is not huge in shape
very thin and fragile, soft and slim
a joy to twine them together
make a garland to God or rather
tie them into a bouquet small
put them on the head carefully as not to fall
the way every Indian woman wears
The sunshine is bright they say
it is bright as always.
The sunshine is radiant they say
it is radiant as always.
The sunshine accelerates growth they say
it accelerates as always.
The sunshine is eternal they say
it is an eternity as always.
The sunshine nourishes they say
it is a nourisher as always.
The sunshine kills als they say
it kills when it is in excess.
The song of the sunshine is mellifluous
it is melodious as the sun.
To sing a song of sunshine
I need to shine myself.
If not I would look rusty and rustic
besides the powerful sunlight.
The five elements in Hinduism
the Panchaputhas on the note
could be contrived as secularism
as it is found in Buddhism to quote
the earth being the primary constituent
comes then the water in order
followed by fire and wind the continuant
finally could see the sky on the border.
The five elements form the cosmic quest
as the earth has two forms
one is the permanent and the best
those of the atoms in their form
the other being the perishable in test
being the karya or work, the animate and the inanimate
the mountains and their forms.
The second being water has two characters
the karya being transient in nature
the atom remains in character
the water from the oceans evaporates a beautiful feature
stay as a cloud in the sky in stature
fall down as rain a cyclic process.
That we breathe in and out is air
the terrific storm is a representation
so does the gentle breeze has air
the karya and the atom relate in a conjunction
the air in the stratosphere and other spheres
remains constant and occupies eternally
an eloquence found in the universe.
The fire as we nurture a fear
has tow of these features in dominance
its purpose is to generate heat to those in far and near
that of hunger evolved is a reference
be it to the digestive power
the other being the commonality
the fire we use to burn.
Ether is unique in a way
possesses the atom as the only character
it being eternal and being that of sound in all ways
be it natural or man made in reaction
the ether or Akash attracted the sages
as they could hear the divine sounds in a range
the mantra “OM” reverberates with a vibration.
The panchabutas
do reign over the universe
a phenomenon that unites the diverse
the transient and permanent do not collide
as they are one, not another
from the one comes the other
the karya and the atom govern the universe.
could not hear any sound
it rotates and revolves
day and night evolve
some days are bright
a beautiful sight
others are gloomy
sombre and balmy
the nights in their place
go pitch dark on days
call it the new moon days
becomes dazzling and sizzling
address it as the full moon intoxicating
well that way the earth goes around
distributing wonders in its rounds.
it was a siege
concerned not with the country
it was a reach
restricted the play of plenty
committed with a breach
by the nearest kin
connected with a preach
being the most inappropriate din
never able to forget in the least
obsessive in a kind
not possible to overcome the beast
well, that be the intentions of her
a desire to amass the entire.
